If you have already soaked it in tap or distilled water, It is very large. Soaking it in salt water will cause it to shrink because there is now a high percentage of water in it, And not a lot of salt. The salt from the water gets absorbed by the bear. Now, the water percentage has decreased, So it is not as large. However, the gummi bear will never change back into its origonal form. -Claire

What happens when you put a gummy bear in water?
the bear will expand due to osmosis which is the diffusion of water. because the bear is made up of glucose, salt, etc., the water in the cup surrounding it will move into the bear. because water moves from high concentration (cup of water) to low concentration (gummi bear), the bear collects a significant amount of water, causing it to become much larger in size. -imadancer.
